★★★★★ "Don’t waste your money in the states. Tried to sign up for the free trial, but it wouldn’t let me click through. Paid the $5 and saw 0 free sites marked near Moab, UT. Waste of $5" - Alastinson

Practically nothing in the USA
Maybe if I add a lot of spots, they’ll pay me!
Lack of options without paying
It’s hard to imagine there are only a few spots in this state on this app without paying for it
Lacking datapoints
Tried app and searched areas I was familiar with in the southwest and found the data lacking. Don’t feel this can be reliably used.
Don’t waste your money in the states
Tried to sign up for the free trial, but it wouldn’t let me click through. Paid the $5 and saw 0 free sites marked near Moab, UT.

Scam
Horrible app, scam
Beware of “Free Trial”
I downloaded the app and started the “7 Day Free Trial”. It charged me for a full year subscription the next day. Fortunately I was able to get a refund through Apple because I noticed it quickly.
Not impressed - so sorry I bought the year subscription
I figured I would try this app on our recent trip (canada, alaska and northern US). After all you can never have enough “free camping” guidance. Markings on the app are hard to see…even when you really zoom in. To be honest, there was such a lack of places, I cancelled the subscription the same day I downloaded it. (Wish I could get my money back.)
Sadly, not very user friendly
The app is not user friend nor intuitive at all. It wasn’t useful in the slightest. So bummed.
Difficult to make friends
It only allows you to search by people’s names or the name of their van. I don’t like that because I want to be able to meet new people. So an option to find friends near me would be better. That way I can see people on the map.
